I've just discovered the locking mechanism on my fuel filler flap has stopped working.
The bolt that goes through the flap doesn't move anymore.

Is this easy to repair?

It's a V70.

Have you tried some lubrication on it? Mine did that once and it was just seized.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Feel a bit stupid now.
I've read there is a time delay on the lock adn I'ev checked now and it's locked!

It might be worth a clean and a little 3 in 1?

2 mins after locking the deadlocks fire, 10 mins after fuel cap locks.
I'm sure I posted this a few days ago.
At least its sorted, really bothered me until I worked out it was on a timer lol
